Water Inlet Valve
★★★★★

Part #W11038689
This is an inlet valve for various washing machines. Inlet valves are responsible for opening and closing as needed, to allow water to enter the washer during the washing cycle. This inlet valve features a hot and cold-water valve, as well as the necessary wire harness to easily plug it in. Since inlet valves are an electrically controlled solenoid valve, they can fail either due to electrical failure such a short, or after long, extended use. If your inlet valve fails, your washer will likely relay an error code, or it simply will not wash your clothes due to the lack of water, and the valves will need to be replaced. Replacing this valve will require a screwdriver and/or socket wrench, and some disassembly of your washer will be necessary. This inlet valve is an individually sold OEM part and does not come with any accessories or other parts.

My washer doesn't know it not filling up. I was told bad censor. What part do I need?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Mary, thank you for your inquiries. In most standard top-loading machines, you can find the water sensor located at the bottom of the outer tub. This is usually located towards the back of the machine underneath the agitator. Front-loading washing machine. Hope this helps.
